1.4.5 Buzzer and Error Functions

The buzzer rings under the following circumstances:

●

✍

When a BEL code is sent to the printer, the buzzer

rings once (for 0.1 sec.).

When the

Roman font is set using the FORM FEED switch, the buzzer

rings twice (for 0.1 sec. each, with 0.1 sec. pause between rings).

When the

Saris serif font is set using the

FEED switch, the buzzer

rings three times (for O. 1 sec. each, with O. 1 sec. pause between rings).

When the Draft font is set using the DRAFT/LINE FEED switch, the buzzer

rings once (for O. 1 sec.).

When the printer enters the

mode, the buzzer

rings once (for O. sec.).

When paper out is detected, the buzzer

rings eight times (for 0.5 sec. each, with 0.5 sec. pause between rings).

When abnormal carriage operation is detected (hardware error), the buzzer

rings five times (for 0.5 sec. each, with 0.5 sec. pause between rings).

-W—hen abnormal voltage is detected (hardware error), the buzzer

rings five times (for 0.5 sec. each, with 0.5 sec. pause between rings).

When the paper end sensor detects paper out, the state of the interface changes as follows:

ERROR signal

LOW

BUSY signal

HIGH

The printer enters an error state when any of the following occurs:

a. Home position is not detected after the printer mechanism has been initialized (home

seek).

position

b. The

voltage (which is used to drive the printhead and motors) rises to

or more.

When the printer enters an error state, the printer stops the printing, and the state of the interface

changes as follows:

ERROR signal

LOW

BUSY signal

HIGH

1.4.6 Printer Initialization and Default Values

The LX-800 initialized when any of the following occurs.

●

When

9“
i.

The power switch is turned on.

signal INIT goes low.

the printer is initialized, the following operations are performed:

Seek to carriage home position.

Set to ON-LINE mode.

Clear the all buffers.

Set the line spacing to 1/6 inches.

Set the page length to 11 or 12 inches, according to the DIP switch.

Clear all vertical tab positions.

Set the horizontal tab position to every 8 columns.

Set the print mode according to the DIP switches.
